Exact voltage

Perfect! This is very good! You will not need any sort of voltage adapter (they are always big, heavy and they can't handle too much energy. i.e. might have problems with hairdryers). You can plug your devices to the electric network grid in French Guiana without requiring a voltage adapter.

Plugs Type

Same connectors

Ideal situation, all the connectors used in Martinique are also used in French Guiana. You will not need any adapter (but please check voltages and the other sections of this report). Congratulations!!!!

This adapter has a safety protection so you don't plug only one terminal into the adapter while touching the other with your finger, because it is generic, when you buy it pay attention to this safety mechanism. Overall a good adapter that has the earth connection pass-though (notice the metallic connector on the side.)
